Korean newspaper congratulates Chicago Bears on winning Stanley Cup

The Korea Times sports section printed the team’s celebration photo and an Associated Press recap of the game, but the headline writer got a little confused and led with “Chicago Bears clinch Stanley Cup.”

The Blackhawks winning three Cups in six years is an extremely impressive feat, but it would pale in comparison to how amazing it would be for the Bears to strap on skates and somehow take the NHL title home.
